Hi

Can anyone help me identify the typefaces used on this old style menu.

I think for example that the fresh fish line is the typeface Vinera
but not sure where to start with the rest.

Can anyone help? thanks in advance

FRESH FISH is an old font called Gold Rush. Vineta is similar but not a match. I haven’t found a digital version.

The small sans serif is Eurostile.

This is one of the nicer examples of Victorian era multi-face typography I’ve seen.

Yes. Very, very nicely done.
